This is unfortunately true, but important to point out that it is only a recent truth. Historically news agencies were neutral, striving to report unbiased news. Politicizing current events is relatively new and I do not think has been a positive innovation anywhere in the world.

Media has not been neutral ever.

Any choice in publishing one news is simultaneously an active a choice in not publishing another. Furthermore, there is not one singular truth to report in the vast majority of news, in particular of political nature.

The solution is not to find another news outlet that feels more like truth. Instead, find a few different news outlets and understand their biases.

No they absolutely were not.

News and media has manufactured consent and outrage since their inception.

They're directly responsible for uncovering heinous crimes and for causing them.
